My wife is Dutch and regularly tries to get me to eat Ammoniac flavoured sweets and lollies. I’ve never got it, despite trying. There’s a lolly that’s vanilla flavoured most of the way through until you get to the seam of salt near the middle. Made me jump once whilst on the motorway.

Your lamb is now on my list.

Haha. It needs one of those "do not use while operating heavy machinery" warnings.

Thank you so much! I was just starting to translate the traditional recipe I have for you but then found this website has already translated it! If you've never had mämmi before my advice is to use the orange peel, even though I like it fine without. Good luck! https://www.k-ruoka.fi/artikkelit/paasiainen/mammi-in-english

just clicked on the link and it seems that i'm blocked from accessing it, for some reason! (it might be because i'm based in the U.S.?) i may have to ask you for the translation instead.
